Poplar Creek Senior Care

Poplar Creek Senior Care sits on Old Airport Road in LaGrange, Georgia, and offers assisted living and memory care options for seniors, with The Suites at Poplar Creek as the name for their assisted living section, and here, residents get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and taking their medicine, and there's extra support for those with memory issues, such as Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, with staff keeping a close eye on safety and working to keep confusion low and prevent wandering, and for folks with severe dementia, the approach is to create a family-like atmosphere that feels familiar and friendly, and that makes it a bit easier for everyone. The community's got suites that are roomy, each with a bedroom, a living room, a bathroom with safety bars and call cords, plus a kitchenette, and residents can bring in their things to make it feel more like home, and they're supervised around the clock so there's always someone there if help's needed, and every room has an emergency alert system along with smoke detectors, so safety's not an afterthought. There's a respite program, which means short-term stays are possible if families need a break or extra help, and if someone has mild cognitive problems, there are special programs just for that, and folks who can't walk or need more personal care are welcome too. Medication management's available, as well as help with transferring from bed to chair or getting dressed, so all sorts of needs are taken into account, and there are special diets, gardening programs, and even pet therapy to give residents something to look forward to. If someone likes being outside, there are walking paths to stretch the legs, activity rooms and an arts room for folks who like to be creative, and a barber and salon on-site for haircuts or just to feel a bit more put together. The staff organizes movie nights, community activities, bus trips, birthday celebrations, card games, and music, and they've even got cable TV in the rooms, and a dedicated activities person who keeps things lively so no one feels left out. The facility's been structured as a managed senior living community, overseen by Executive Director Kim Skiff, and families can schedule an in-home consultation if they want to learn more about what suits their loved one's needs.
